You’re not broken — your nervous system is overwhelmed

You might feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, overwhelm, or self-doubt, especially in your relationships, your self-esteem, or how you experience your body.

These patterns often show up in quiet, familiar ways:

  • comparing your body to others without realizing it

  • overthinking something you said in a conversation

  • or feeling subtly on edge, like you’re not fully at ease in yourself

My work helps you move beyond understanding into deeper healing. Through somatic, attachment-based, and experiential therapy, including EMDR and other trauma-informed approaches, we focus on the nervous system, attachment patterns, and your relationship with your body, so change becomes something you not only understand but genuinely feel and live.

This is a space for meaningful transformation, supporting you in building resilience, strengthening self-esteem, and reconnecting with a sense of safety and ease in your body.

What becomes possible when you feel more regulated and supported

Integrative Therapy can help you:

  • Reconnect with your body and mind — noticing tension, stress, and emotional patterns as they arise, and learning ways to calm and regulate your nervous system

  • Understand your inner experience more clearly — making sense of your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations, and how past experiences may be shaping them

  • Navigate anxiety and overwhelm with more ease — responding to challenges more effectively, rather than feeling stuck or reactive

  • Relate to yourself with greater self-compassion — meeting discomfort, difficult emotions, and old patterns with kindness instead of judgment

  • Move through your day with more clarity and presence — feeling more grounded, making decisions with confidence, and staying connected even in stressful moments

  • Feel more connected in your relationships — responding rather than reacting, and trusting your ability to navigate life’s ups and downs

You might recognize yourself—replaying conversations in your head, feeling subtly on edge in your body, or noticing how quickly you compare yourself to others without meaning to. Even with insight, patterns related to anxiety, trauma, or body image can feel hard to shift.

I offer a holistic, individualized, and trauma-informed approach, tailored to your unique needs. My work integrates depth-oriented, somatic, and experiential practices—including EMDR therapy—to support meaningful, lasting change. So that healing isn’t just something you understand, but something you begin to feel and experience in your daily life.

I provide virtual therapy for women across New York State, including Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. I also offer early-morning appointments for those who prefer to begin their day with therapy or feel most grounded earlier in the day.

Meet Your NYC Anxiety Therapist

Hello, I am Olivia! 

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and deeply self-aware, yet still find themselves caught in painful patterns in relationships, overwhelmed by emotions, or with a sense that something inside won’t settle. Quite often, they’ve already tried traditional talk therapy and are looking for something different, something that goes beneath the surface rather than staying at the level of insight alone.

Often, these painful experiences are rooted in the ways we learned to adapt and survive earlier in life. Even when those adaptations once helped us, they can begin to feel limiting or distressing in the present. My work is about gently exploring these deeper layers, so that change doesn’t just happen intellectually, but is felt and integrated in a more lasting way.

In trauma therapy, we slow things down and gently explore these patterns together, creating space for new experiences that support healing, self-trust, and lasting change. If this feels familiar, you don’t have to navigate it alone; therapy can be a place to feel understood and begin to shift those patterns.
